After the first shower the picnicers started
for home, but another hard shower coming

Europe's Wheat Supply.

Mr.. j. R. Dodge, statistician of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, in an article entitled
be published arsR1F Gss Of Mhsa st,.ls sfh gsst
crop report, says: "The official record of
imports of wheat into the United Kingdom
for the first half of the present year shows a
large increase in the proportion furnished by
the United States, 90 per cent. against 81 per
cent. in the first six months of 1886 and 1855.
Counting flour as wheat, the proportion is
49, per cent, against 60.Sin similar period
of 1886 and 500 in 1885. There is Il great
reduction in receipts from Russia, decrease
from India of 20 Per cent. as compared with
the first half of last year, and a decrease from
Australia, The value of wheat from this
country Is cents per hushel more than from
India, and cents more than Russian wheat.
It is higher than that of any non Europe
country, and yet the quantity furnished is
twice as much as that supplied by all other
countries. This is satisfactory test of the
comparative quality of our wheat, especially
as the price averaged 5 cents higher than for
a SIMILAR period last year. While india is tho
principal eompetitor Of the United States in
the worlds market, her importance as COM
petitor Is greatly overrated. The occurrence
of famine year would reduce to zero her
exports. A ten per cent. surplus that cannot
be depended on in crop half as large as ours
cannot take the place of our surplus, which
is more than half as large as the India crop.
South America has greater possibilities as a
competitor, though its area in wheat is small
as vet. The present indications point to a
more than average European crop. The Rus
sian and Austrian crops especially are of fine
promise. That of Spain is medium. In Ger
many, FRANCE and England Feports. aFe gen;
orally ayaTahle The ndS % D SGo 6o harvested
less than the preceding, say gas, GOO, cog bush
O00. 900 more than in 1926, or az, 900, 900
bushels. The product of the world promises
to be quite as much as for each of the two
preceding harvests. Present indications do
not promise material increase in prices; they
certainly do not demand lower prices. "
